Baka Saru  +  443544 Sat, 17 Nov 07 12:37 PM I'm not really sure about the title of this kind of words, as I 'm seeking for the right definition and examples. Can anyone help me plz, becuz I have just a few days to look for it as assignment. However, my teacher has given me some examples: Ex:               CHICKEN _ KITCHEN This is a pair of resounding words, as when you pronounce these two words, you'll find out that the order of the pronunciations in each words have been exchanged. I hope the explanation is clear enough, cuz I don't really know how to explain it . If you can't help, it's gonna be great! Baka Saru Joined on Sat, Nov 17 2007 New Member 14 Kill or be killed.

This is a tough one!  We are so aware of the visual (so much so that often we forget that 'ch' is actually the equivalent of 'tsh'), that we can't "focus", so to speak, on the audio.  I'll be watching for examples.

I've never heard the term "resounding words"!  But there are many words which are confusing because of similar sounds or spellings.  Maybe some of these qualify.  I don't know. causal - casual marital - martial conversation - conservation ketchup - check-up CJ CalifJim Joined on Mon, Aug 2 2004 California Veteran Member 22,389 "There are no facts, only interpretations" - Nietzsche Conversations

	Baka Saru  +  453437 Sat, 15 Dec 07 02:49 PM I think I've got another example for this: LADY('leidi') - DAILY ('deili') this is what I actually meant. The vowel 'ei' first comes with "l" in lady, secondly comes with "d" in daily, and vice versa. IF I could find out any other examples, I will post it. Baka Saru Vowels
